we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to RBs. Gore and Hunter along with the OL are tearing teams apart right now. As much as its nice to have Jacobs, you ride the hot hand, don't get Gore and Hunter off their rythem.
Can't really blame the guy.... but you can totally understand why he isn't playing. We are just stacked at the RB position.
Can't blame him, also don't care.
yeah i definitely don't blame him other.... but i mean it's obvious just like everyone else is pointing out... the group of RB's we have is clearly the reason
It's his own fault. He should've realized that Gore and Hunter would've been entrenched as our #1 and #2 RBs. It would've been fair for him to think he could've beat out Dixon for a spot on the active roster, but even if he was the #3 RB, he'd still only get, at most, a few carries per game. If he wanted to have an important role somewhere, he should've signed with a team that had more of a need at RB. He will remain on the inactive list unless there is an injury. Honestly, I'd rather see one of LaMichael James or AJ Jenkins suit up than him anyways.
There was no reason for the 49ers to sign this guy.
Just think, at one point they had Gore,Hunter,Dixon,Jacobs,James,Cartwright. You knew going into the season that Jacobs was not going to beat out Gore or Hunter so it was really between him and Dixon. They also knew that Jacobs does not play special teams so you have to give the nod to Dixon. As I stated before, there was no reason to sign him in the first place.
I think you should re-phrase it, that it wasn't neccessary to sign him. There was a reason, and that reason was to have as much quality depth at the position as they could have. .Quote:

Your right, but did the 49ers make it known to Jacobs that this was their purpose for signing him ? Doubtful...Quote:

Baalke's job is to put together the best and deepest team that he can. He's not going to tell players that he signs that they are being brought in for depth. They should be smart enough to figure that out for themselves by observing that there are quality starters already on the team. Jacobs needs to shut has trap and he can go elsewhere next season.Quote:

I think Jacobs is there for insurance. If gore gets injured then Jacobs is the next guy up with a similar style of running. Worse case senario is we can trade Jacobs to a team like GB who's struggling.
